Oil on Canvas
40W x  60H x 2L
 
This painting was done using premium thick body oil paint, professionally stretched canvas. Manipulated with touches of paint with both brushstrokes and knife strokes (spatula), with the fat on lean technique, sometimes I wait weeks for the base coatsdry to work on it, the result is diametrically opposed to other techniques: working my paintings with knife and playing with time allowed me to develop my own writing, but it took time, work and patience.
 
 
'You are good when you walk firmly towards your goal with
an intrepid step. Still, you're not bad when you limp in there.
Even those who limp do not go back'  Khalil Gibran
